Marathon 2025 - Bungie's new AAAA Extraction shooter

[The Secret Sauce]

Consider that Sony didnt just buy Marathon, they also purchased a second live service game called Destiny 2, pinning it all on one of these IPs for that much loss is for those who cope and seethe.

Interesting perspective, creaturestorm (May). Your rebuttal, creaturestorm (April)?

Sony spent 4 billion dollars to acquire this game.

Hmmm...

again and again we go with this

I think people are just calling things "Concord like" as a catch all for massive flops, like "tortanic", I wouldn't take it so personally. Someone might think you worked on this game or something lol.

I wonder how many people will stick around after all their shit gets wiped.

Not many based on Bungie's history with endgames and looking at recent extraction shooters with resets. Just for instance, ARC Raiders has an optional wipe. The first one got about 25% of players to try it. After losing everything for 5 extra skill points, the next wipe only had 6% participation. Wipes without meaningful progression just aren't popular and given Marathons isn't optional, I'm predicting it will harm the base more than help it.

I stand to be proven wrong but account wipes just aren't a fun mechanic with a game as challenging and intricate as Marathon. Games like Rust get away with it because you can go from naked to full kit in like an hour if you don't suck and the game is rather low investment once you know the in's and out's.

Youre close to putting two and two together.

Marathon is neither a 4 billion dollar game that sony bought nor is it the billion dollar loss.

I was waiting for one of you retards to argue it one way or the other.

You could actually rationalize it as Marathon making more money than concord could ever dream off, Bungie paid 4 billion dollars for Marathon. It's not good logic either way.

This is one of the few places left on the internet where you can speak openly. The truth wont get censored here, but neither will the lies. When i come to this forum to read and catch up on what's happening more often than not it reads like a teenage girls diary. Full of rumors, half truths, and other ridiculous shit. Depending on the subject matter, the truth can quickly get mired in these feminine rationalizations. I'm not about it, I think it's gay as fuck and men who engage in that kind of talk are faggots.

I dont remember much about TOR, I'm not a starwars person. Though its probably a more apt description of what's happening with Marathon than Concord.

I'm looking forward to S3 of Marathon and people still calling it concord.

We can start calling it Destiny 2.5 if you would prefer, based on their proposed upcoming changes.

You're really not helping the desperate ball-washing "I work for this company, worked on this game, or financially benefit from its success in some way" stink wafting off your no-profile-picture ass with comments like this, just FYI.
